Re: Kidnapped Girl Found In Man's Basement (London, 1957)
Did some searching and found another site with this video embedded, but the uploader had no further info. However, the 2nd comment down seems to give more info, but I'm not sure how accurate it is " David Boothroyd said... I can help you on the history. Marjorie Sylvia Jordan was discovered on Sunday 21 April 1957. As a result John Raymond Bridal, aged 26, labourer, was accused of unlawfully imprisoning her between 8 January and 21 April 1957, and also assaulting her causing actual bodily harm. Bridal's committal proceedings began at Bow Street from 31 May, and on 19 June he was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. There he pleaded guilty and was sentenced on 16 July 1957 to three years' imprisonment. It was revealed at the trial that Bridal had previously spent nine months as a certified patient in a mental hospital in 1952, although he was considered sane in 1957." |
